START YOR HARDY GARDEN O ND 'GAN A YEAR How often have you sto ed to ad mire the home made beautiful and at tractive by a wellichosen planting of Jiardy flowers ? - And how often have you promised yotirelf that you would not lot an other season go by without having Just such' an attraotive planting around your own home? But when spring came, with the rush, ow.or. of 4l kinds to (to; qnd the vegetabe garden- to plant; nd cleaning up and pairiting demanding .every spare moment you had-then you simply could not -get around to etting .9ut yoVir bkr ly fl.owers. And once more you woul have to "lqt it go.: Have a Hardy Garden of Your Own .Next Spring But you carl have"K hardy garden of your own. And you can have flowers blooming in it next spring. All ou have to (o is to start it now. MZost of the hardy perennials (that is, the lants that live out over Winter', and bloom year after year) can be planted in the fall just as wel las in spring. In fact, many expert gardeners prefer to plant them in the fall. They can be set out any time up to hard freez ing weather. Any fairly good soil, such as you have been using for annuals or green iums, will do foioyour hardy flowvrs. Or you can make the bed or "border" for your hardy flowers where tliore is good sod. A narrow bed, along either side of the walk or drive lead m g to the house, is almost always e ective and pretty. A couple of hours work will prepare a good sized bed. Don't Wait Until You Can Get a Whole Collection to Slart With One reason why some folks never get a hardy garden started is because they keep putting off making a start until they can get a complete collec tion. The easiest way, and really the best way, is to start with a few things andI keep adding to the list as opporunity offers. Almost anybody can get a dozen or two different things to make a beginning that wil lgive a very creditable show of flowers during the first season. Sonic of these things you can secure from your neighbors. Any of them you can get at a very small cost from some nearby nursery. Most perennials, after 'hey have been growing in one place for a few years, will continue to give more and bigger flowers if they are taken up and the "clumps" of roots separated into a number of pieces, and replant ed. The.se pieces or "divisions," as they are called, therefore. are usally easy to obtain from your flower grow ing friends. In getting plants in this way, the roots should be kept out of the ground as short a time as possible, and pro tected from sun and wind by pieces of wet bagging while being handled. The divisions for replanting should not be left too large-a clunip or a section of a plant with a few strong buds will give much better results than a large clump containing several old roots. The plants which you get from a nursery, of course, are husky, young individual plants which have been grown as individuals for at least a season, and these naturally can be more depended upon to give satisfac factory results than "divisions" made from old plants. The latter, howev'er, nmake a very satisfactory way of get ting an economical start with your hardy garden. If they are supple mented by some of thec newer varie ties from the nursery, a very fine showing can be had, even the first season, for an outlay of a very few dollars. Somethings You Can Plant Now Wiile the list of good dependable har<dy plants is very long ,it is well -to start your garden with the old1 re liable standbys such as pllox, peonigs and hris. In selecting these, othlaini, if possible, two or three dlifferenit types of each, so that the season of bloom wvill be made as long as possi ble. You wvill find the dlifferent types dlescribed in any of the fall nurser'y catalogues or in the lists carried by agents. It is by no means necessary to get one of the newer varieties, as many of the older ones are just as beautiful, and are less expensive to make a start wvith. Of course, after your collection gets bigger, you wvil naturally want some of the nmew thimigs in order to hh\ve a greater variety. T1he most important of all our Amer ican hardly perennials and, in the opimion of many, the most indispen sable of all plerenials for the hardy border, are the membllers of the p)hlox family. By careful selection of theI variieties from the dIifferent species, they may lbe had in bloom continually from ejuite early in the season until frost. Tlhere is a widle range of colors practical freedom from diseases or mnsect enem ies, and the flowers of many varieties ai-e fragrant.

Ilow to Prepare the Soil for Plantinmg -As to the locatioii of the bedl or' border where the hai dy flowers are to be lalnted, the soil should be in fair ly good condition and the location such that no surface wvater wvill stand on the bed durinig the winter amonths.
